'I recently used your company to complete the application for a spouse visa.
The visa was processed in SA in less than 2 days, one of the comments made by UK
Visas was that they wished all the applications were prepared like ours. Please
convey my thanks...'

uncertainty with the Home Office. The service I received was top class! I know
that investing in Breytenbachs' services is money well spent. The elation that I
feel can't be expressed in words. I felt like I had a professional friend on my
side all through the process. I commit myself to Breytenbachs' efficient
professional service and will spread the word...'

'Just a quick e-mail to say thank you for your for your
amazing turnaround time during my ILR application. I specifically want to make
mention of your Assistant, Sam, who in my opinion is one of the most helpful and
professional people I have dealt with in a very long time. Thank You both for

reference if ever you need to.'

'...you certainly set my mind at rest and gave me the necessary confidence to
press on with my plans. As mentioned I am only really sorry that I did not hear
of you and approach Breytenbachs earlier in my process as I would have save
myself a great deal of frustration and stress. I will certainly be advising my
MANY friends and colleagues of your services.'

'It turns out Alivia was not the only
one impressed by your work on the application. The people who she gave the visa
to in the embassy were also very impressed by the preparation that was put into
the application and within 6 hours the visa was granted. I just wanted to thank
you for all the hard work you had put into the application.'

'Chris, I want to thank you for the
original consultation and advice. If not for your advice to speak to Marius, I
might have been in for a long and frustrating ride, so thank you for the
professional and honest way in which you dealt with my case. Marius and Chris, I
just want to make use of the opportunity to thank you both for your advice and
support, you are truly upholding the great service that I have experienced at
Breytenbachs since coming to the UK'

'Just a quick e-mail to once again thank
you for your help with this application! This is the third application for a
visa that was handled on my behalf by Breytenbachs and for the third time it has
been very professional and very quick. Your help, and patience, does not go
unnoticed and I will gladly refer people to Breytenbachs in the future!'
Pieter Jansen van Vuuren
'Just a little note to say THANK YOU so much for all
your hard work and determination throughout my visa application. I cannot tell
you how great you guys have been, especially since I had a few hiccups along the
way. I do not know what I would have done without all your help. I will 'Never
fear when my lawyer is near' as Connie said to me before!'
Nicky Calmeyer
'Deciding to use Breytenbachs' services was without a doubt the best choice.
Both you (Connie Prinsloo) and Adele knew exactly what was needed for my work
permit application, gave sound advice, help and fast, friendly service every
step of the way. Not only was my permit dealt with tremendous speed, but I also
had absolutely no difficulties during the entire application. I always felt like
a valued client. Breytenbachs has proven once again that you can be trusted, no
wonder the success rate for permit applications is so high!!! I will have no
hesitation what so ever to recommend your services to any of my friends or
colleagues.
Thanks again for the terrific service!
Marlize Erasmus
'I would like to thank Breytenbachs and especially Anya Headon, for her advise
regarding my further leave to remain application. I submitted an FLR (IED)
application to the Home Office and was informed on a Friday night that my
application has been declined. I left a message on Breytenbachs voicemall that
I urgently have to see someone who can help me sort out the mess as I was sure
Home Office made a mistake. Not being a client and without an appointment I was
seen at 9am Monday morning as a walk-in by Anya. She was very professional,
friendly and helpful during our consultation and by the Friday, Home Office
admitted their mistake and my Leave to Remain was granted for 5 years!! After
what was probably the most stressful weekend in my life, Anya was very
reassuring and knew exactly what she was talking about.'
Nicolette Gerber
'I would like to thank Breytenbachs for their excellent service. It is worth every penny! It can't get any easier with Breytenbachs! Absolutely no hassles at all, so if you are thinking of applying for a visa or work permit I would recommend them anytime! Thanks again!'
Michiel van der Walt
'Just want to say thank you to Breytenbachs, I have been
using you for the past 4 years and have received excellent service. Thanks for
the excellent service and friendliness. I wouldn't dream of putting my visa
application in anyone else's hands but Breytenbachs. Keep up the excellent work.
You are the best!'
Charise Oberholzer
'I have used Breytenbachs over the past 2 years for my visa applications. In these two years I have been dealing with Ilda and I would like to mention that never before have I worked with a company that is not only professional but is very customer driven. Ilda and your staff made me feel very welcome on every visit, I always walk out of your offices knowing and understanding what the future holds, and feel very valued as an individual. Keep up the good work!'
Jaylee James
'Breytenbachs has helped me to accomplish a dream. Wanting to work in the UK and not knowing how to do this, was made so easy by Breytenbachs. I think the poor solicitor was probably deaf after hearing my SCREAM when she told me my work permit was approved for 5 years. In every step of the way they were there for me and I do appreciate it so much. They give EXCELLENT service. I can vouch for that.'
Elsa Booysen
'After reading your information given on your website, specifically the free
advice for finding accommodation and all other information in a very friendly
manner. I decided to apply for my assessment with your esteem firm. I really
appreciate your work. Please keep going on helping people, who come for clean
purposes in this dodgy environment.'
Shakeel Shaikh
'Just a note to say thank you so much for all your help with my work permit. I'd also like to let you know how fantastic Adele was at helping me with my case. She put up with my constant emails and stressed out phone calls with infinite patience and a constant smile. Se was an absolute god send, especially when it came to chasing up the Applications office and getting my documents couriered to me in NZ. I don't know where I'd be without you (but it would probably wouldn't be in England!!!)'
Ange Stinger
'In all instances from consultation to telephonic communication the service I
have received from the staff has been excellent. An issue had arisen at the Home
Office, on the day of the application, this was handled very professionally and
promptly with the result being a successful application on the day. I am very
happy with your service and will definitely recommend you in the future.'
Ashley K Maistry & Nalini Naidoo
'It was purely accidental that a visitor from SA brought me a Sunday
newspaper that had a 2-page advertisement about your services. You guys are
making it easier for a lot of people - keep up the good work!'
Marieta van Rooyen
'I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for your help with my dependancy visa. I went back to South Africa and sent my application in and received it in 10 days with my visa approved! Thank you so much for your expertise and professionalism. I'm sorry I never thanked you sooner but I was celebrating too much!
I will recommend you to all my friends and people who might need help with their visas.'
Nolan Hepburn
'Thank you for notifying me yesterday of the successful outcome of the application and for your service. As I said to you on the phone, after approaching 3 different lawyers who all declined to take on the case, Breytenbachs were the only people willing to consider it. You came recommended and I will definitely recommended you in future to others! It has really made my week!'
Jaco van der Merwe
'When you hear the stories of work permits issued with incorrect names and the complications involved, you will soon realize how important a competent lawyer is when it comes to decisions that will affect the rest of your life.'
Barry & Maggie Olivier
'I hereby wish to inform the SA Embassy that my problem with my previous employer was successfully solved by Mr. Breytenbach within a short period of time. Thank you for referring me to Breytenbach Prinsloo. I am proud to say that I will be using his services in the future.'
Colleen Barnes
'I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your hard work put in for my work permit application. I am sure you do understand how grateful I am! Thank you very much. Due to my passport coming back so early I am able to go celebrate Christmas with my family under sunny SA skies! There is no better place than home - thank you!! '
Cledia Plate
'I am writing to thank you very much for your help with my study visa. It feels like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders.'
Wuanita
'When I found myself reaching the end of my four-year UK 'Ancestry Visa', as a New Zealander working in London, I felt apprehensive about the process of applying for residency.I called Breytenbach and Co and never looked back. From the initial phone conversation, through to my hour-long session with a lawyer, and during the entire application process, each of the staff members I dealt with was consistently efficient, friendly, knowledgeable and supportive.'
Vicki Allpress
'Thank you very much for all your assistance in helping me obtain a six month's extension. Not only were you diligent on my behalf, but always friendly and accessible. I was also extremely impressed with the level of customer service I received from your colleagues.'
Belinda von Zweel
'I CANNOT thank you enough for all the trouble and hard work you all put into my case - it really means a lot to me and is GREATLY APPRECIATED! Thank you very much! I know it is your job and you get paid to do it, but you have just given me my future and a great deal of happiness!'
Kim Joubert
'We had no doubts about seeing yourselves when we are ready to apply for ILR, our first experience with your firm made us feel so totally confident about your abilities that I have little doubt that with your help we will be able to stay indefinitely (and we won't have to go crazy dealing with the Home Office!)
Jarrod Franklin
'This feels like the end of a journey, yet simultaneously marks the beginning of a new one; and I was given the initial directions to this new route by yourself, Riana and the other associates at the firm, and I will remember you all with great gratitude for some time to come.'
Guy Kornetzki
'I want to thank you and your team for working so very hard on our behalf. With your Company supporting and advising us, I feel sure that we will prevail.'
Yanina Barry
'I have now returned to the UK and would like to thank you for all your help with Helen's marriage visa. As you predicted, we sailed through at the High Commission, and didn't even require an interview! Although we had to wait for the actual visa for a couple of hours, I was surprised that we were not asked any questions whatsoever. I will certainly be recommending you and Breytenbach's to others. Whilst we were there, other couples who had not prepared properly had the agony of returning to Durban/Cape Town and even the UK, to obtain further documents.'
Nicholas Batchelor
'All your patience and hard work is very much appreciated. It's been an often bumpy road, but in the end you have made it a worth while trip. My passport arrived this morning with my work permit in it, the feeling is amazing. You have made a client for life!'
Jonathan de Beer
'From the both of us, our immediate families, both here and South Africa, thank you, and may the very essence of the work you do continue to enrich people's lives in the high level of standard you follow'.
Cornelius & Zoe Pieterse & Benjamin
'In this competitive business world, an unselfish helping hand is rare indeed. Fighting the tendency to self-absorption is difficult as pressures escalate. Yet, there is much gratification in knowing that your actions were beneficial to another's life.
Because of your assistance with my Highly Skilled Migrant Visa and the help from your friendly colleague, Hennie Schoeman in South Africa, I was able to get my entry clearance without any further problems. The initial results would not have been possible without your support. Thank you for making me more aware of ways in which I can help others and for reaffirming my belief in the goodness of human nature.
Distinguishing one lawyer from another through the advertising hype that pervades our world is a tiring adventure. Many Law Firms claim superiority because of low fees or unparalleled service. Withstanding the test of promotion is the axiom, "People want to do business with people, not cold companies." Your diligence and professionalism have reassured me that there are other still lawyers that fulfil their promises. I am looking forward meeting all of you in person soon.'
